You can do this in Matt Dillon's DTerm, as well as implement any circular,
square, moebius, or other sequential dialler. It doesn't have a dial directory
per se, but the programming language (a finite state machine) is quite
complete. All it needs is variables and a timer and it'd be perfect. You
would probably be able to write transfer protocols in it!

Come on, Matt. Variables, timer, and an AREXX port. It would blow the doors
off anyone else's software. I know DNET is cooler, but some of us don't have
BSD on our UNIX boxes.
